Ouch on the price, but it's pretty good for a highly-detailed die-cast tank on that scale.

Although this part of the auction kinda worries me...
This reduced the ratio of precision alloys 1:18 tank simulation model to the Chinese type 99 main battle tanks for reduced sperm from the prototype.[/i]

Very nice! However, I think I'll stick with my PTE version. That is nearly 1:18 scale and even though I had to get it from overseas, the PTE tank was much, much cheaper than that precision model shown

Did anybody know what that description meant?

Reading the description, it sounds like a bad translation between Chinese and English. If you use Google Translate or another translation program and enter a piece of writing longer than a paragraph, you will get a similar result (in whatever language) to that Chinese tank description.
That, or the seller was completely trashed when they wrote the item description
